Perl Server Pages
February 27th, 2007Mason seems to be a web scripting perl module that lets you embed code/scripts in html pages ala jsp or asp. At work we have a bunch of pretty clunky internal apps written with perl’s CGI module, and it’s terrible. I can’t stand having the html embedded in the code. I’ve been thinking of moving a bunch of it to PHP, but Mason should give me the flexibility and cleanliness of design I want without having to port (read: break) everything from perl. I can keep using what I already have.
Of course, my heart still belongs to Java.
